Make TMUX active whenever I start a new shell session on OSX

I'm trying to start tmux automatically whenever I open a new shell, just note I'm using iTerm on OSX, I've tried putting the following in my .bashrc file:

if [[ ! $TERM =~ screen ]]; then
    exec tmux
fi

this doesn't work, though I've tested it on Ubuntu and it works just fine.

Any help appreciated.

Turns out my .bashrc file wasn't loaded properly off the .bash_profile so I just had to move my scripts and settings to .bash_profile

with your codes, what happens if you start 10 terminals?

you can check the output of tmux list-sessions to decide if tmux has already started.
